What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is usually installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is directed into a border drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water discovers its way into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit.
